THURSDAY, AUGUST U, 1133 THE FRANKLIN. PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACOMAlf PAGE NINE World Events Through the Camera's Lens Home Demonstration Club News BY MRS. T. J. O'NEIL Macon County Home Demonstration Agent WflflW (Iff MISMIMJiiiM '.W.'rtlVWW.'iV' i rs X ' . at . ' 4 IS : Unless we have attended the meeting, to most of us "Farm ana Home Week" has always been jusl another meeting ? but to at least three Home Demonstration club women of Macon county, Farm and Home Week will always be one of the most iteresting meetings of the year. In tact, so thoroughly did we ,enjoy the week in, Raleigh that we are already planning to go again next year. The taciuty of State .college and other workers of the department of agriculture proved themselves perfect hosts, giving us a most cordial" welcome and in every way possible looked after our comfort. The opening session on Monday night was presided over by D. M. Boney, president of Farmer's Meet ing. The club women who attended our district meeting in Sylva last year will remember, most pleasant ly, Mrs. , Boney who was at that time president of the N. C. Feder ation of Home Demonstration clpbs. We were entertained Monday night and each succeeding night by Don Ellington and his orchestra and with group singing led by J. F. Criswell. ' , A number of interesting and in structive classes were arranged for Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. A most interesting feature of the Tuesday evening program was a rendition of mountain folk music by Dr. and Mrs. I. J. Grier, general superintendent Baptist Orphanage of N. C, Thomasville, N. C. The Recreation association, of New York City, was most enjoyable. Eat ing very hot corn on the cob, a contest for men, a watermelon eat ing contest for both men and wo men and a pie eating contest for both the men and women were among the games of the evening. Campus tours and tours to his torical points down town were con ducted Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. There was a general feeling of disappointment on W.ed "rlesday afternoon when we learned the tea to be given by Mrs. Clyde K. Hoey at the Governor's mansion had been called off. However, we had the privilege on Thursday night of hearing interesting addresses by 'both Governor and Mrs. Hoey. The principal speaker on Thurs day i morning's program was Miss Grace E. Frysinger, field agent, central section, U. S. department of agriculture, Washington, D. C. Miss Frysinger is a charming speaker and, her talk on "What makes for successful living" was interesting and inspiring. Friday was Honor Day and cer tificates were presented those, at tending Farm and Home Week the past four years, and meeting nec essary requirements. At this pro gram many of us heard for the first time an address by a woman judge, Judge Loi Mary McBride, Allegheny county court, Pittsburgh, Pa. The exhibits of handicrafts, herbs, canned products, canning equip ment and supplies, home manage ment, home furnishings, clothing and poultry, were on display dur ing the entire week and many new ideas and helpful suggestion's were to be found in each exhibit. We are sure those . of our sister clcb members who have had the privilege of attending "Farm and Home .Week" will agree with us that it is indeed one of the most interesting and instructive -vacation's that we farm women can have. ; . . And your husband will enjoy it as much as you will. Ask him to go with you next y.ear. Mrs. Fred M. 'Slagle, Cartoogechaye H. D.
